Abstract excerpt
Leaf rust (LR) and stripe rust (YR), which are caused by Puccinia triticina and Puccinia striiformis, respectively, are among the most devastating wheat rusts worldwide. These diseases can be managed by using genetically resistant cultivars, an economical and environmentally safer alternative to fungicides. Over 100 and 80 Lr and Yr resistance genes have been discovered, respectively; however, rust pathogens are...
